Through the Eyes of an Architect

After living in the US since my teens and studying architecture, I returned to my birthplace Shiraz, Iran, to the house I grew up in. I wanted to see what was left and if it had changed as I had.

Coming home after studying was coming back to painting in a new way. I now saw my childhood through the eyes of an architect who understood the history of this city. I used thick acrylic paint, and I let it dry a bit so I could shape it and create the texture of each brick, each leaf, each memory.
